Ethan Losasso is an Earth and Atmospheric Sciences undergraduate student with interests in geophysics and environmental science, planning to graduate in Spring of 2023. Last semester, he began research with Dr. Andrew Newman with the goal of developing a tool that uses Python code to produce interactive bathymetric maps of the area around the Puerto Rico trench, which can then be analyzed to produce slip models for normal faulting events in the outer rise, which are useful for evaluating tsunami generation potential.

Kiera Tran is a senior in Earth and Atmospheric Science major. She started with a Business major but ended up pursuing her passion toward Earth Science with concentration Oceanography and Climate concentration. She has been conducting research with Dr. Winnie Chu and her graduate student Angelo Tarzona which will be presented in 2021 AGU Fall Meeting.

Samantha Motz is an Earth & Atmospheric Science undergraduate concentrating on geophysics with a plan to graduate in Fall of 2022. This semester she is beginning research under the guidance of Dr. Karl Lang in the TECHtonics group using detrital zircon geochronology to analyze the provenance of sediment from the ancestral Colorado River. This past summer, Samantha participated in UNAVCO'S RESESS program in which she performed research under the guidance of Dr. Kamini Singha at the Colorado School of Mines.

Michelle is an Earth and Atmospheric Sciences student in the BS/MS program, focusing on planetary science and astrophysics. Michelle completed their EAS undergrad in Summer 2021 and is continuing in the master’s program this Fall.  Over the past two semesters, Michelle did research under Dr. Britney Schmidt and graduate student Chase Chivers to look at “tortuous faults” and other features on the surface of Jupiter’s moon Europa, Michelle has also spent a couple years creating online media with Dr.

August Harrell is a junior EAS major planning to graduate in Spring 2022. He has worked as a TA for the EAS 2600 lab for two semesters, giving short lectures to prepare students for the wide range of material. His interests include geochemistry and geology. After graduation, he plans to pursue graduate school and field work opportunities. In his free time August enjoys being outdoors climbing, hiking, camping, and painting. He hopes to continue learning new things about the natural world and how we can live in harmony with it.

Kelsey Abernathy is a fourth-year Earth and Atmospheric Sciences major with a concentration in Environmental Sciences. She is graduating in May 2021 with a certificate in Sustainable Business and a passion for both people and the planet. While in her undergrad, Kelsey worked as a Communications Assistant for the Global Change Program as well as a Student Assistant for Environmental, Health, and Safety on campus.

Matthew Salamoni is a fourth year EAS major with a concentration in meteorology graduating in Fall 2021. His academic interests include severe weather development, specifically tornadogenesis. In his time at Georgia Tech, he co-facilitated the meteorology focused virtual outreach program, “Into the Storm” with Dr. Zachary Handlos to highschool students across the country. He is also a member of Georgia Tech’s nationally ranked WxChallenge team. Last summer, he interned with RapidRMS in Calhoun, GA.

Jason Martinez is a senior undergraduate EAS major with a concentration in meteorology. During his time at Kennesaw State University, he made the Dean’s List and enjoyed volunteering with the Kennesaw State University Mathematics Conference and Kennesaw Mountain Trail. At Georgia Tech, Jason has continued community service through the EAS Haunted Lab Tours and Montgomery Elementary School Science Expo. A highlight of Jason's EAS experience was almost breaking into the top 100 forecasters during his first WxChallenge competition in 2018.

Hannah Levy is a fourth year EAS major, with a concentration in meteorology, and a Public Policy minor, graduating in Spring 2021. Her academic interests include environmental policy and climate science. She is working with Dr. Kim Cobb to examine relationships between salinity and oxygen isotopes to identify trends related to El Niño Southern Oscillation in the tropical Pacific.  She is interning with Nashville Severe Weather writing weather forecasts that are published on a blog. Last spring, she also interned with CNN in the Weather and Climate Department.
